Remove Office 2003 After initial install of Infopath 2007

We are currently using Office 2003, however, we have a lot of machines that
need Infopath 2007 and Infopath 2003 be removed from these machines. I did
some test by creating an MSP file using the OCT in the Office 2007 that
removes only the previous version of Infopath and install only Infopath 2007.
I then sent the package thru SMS and everything seems to be okay. Now my
problem is these machines will eventually be upgraded to the full Office
2007. I did a test again by creating an MSP that removes all previous
versions of Office (in our case, Office 2003) and install the rest of the
Office 2007 applications with the exception of Infopath 2007 since this
application is already installed on the machines. I then sent the MSP package
thru SMS . After my test machines ran the package the rest of the Office 2007
applications were installed but the Office 2003 applications were not
removed. I then realized that the option of removing previous versions of
Office in the OCT only works during the first installation of Office 2007. In
our case, the installation of Infopath 2007 is considered the first
installation. How do I resolve this problem without going to each machine and
manually remove Office 2003. We do everything in SMS. How do I create an MSP
that will remove Office 2003 and install the rest of Office 2007 except
Infopath 2007?
